Mouse Wheel Events In this window with scroll bars you have: on the left, the possible events concerning the mouse wheel,
more or less associated with control keys; on the right, the action assigned to the event when it will happen. You have also
two buttons, one to Edit the selected event, the other to Cancel the action of the selected event.
Some actions are assigned to events yet. They seem to be examples, as they are not functional.
Select the action allocated to the event Afer selecting an event, if you click on the Edit button, you open the following dialog:

You can use this dialog in the same way as that of the mouse wheel. Events are related to the arrow keys of the keyboard,
